- motorcycle model, BMW brand
The BMW F650CS is the successor to the F 650 GS fanduro, which in a short time gained popularity among buyers. Despite its badass off-road appearance, this motorcycle has more “fun”, i.e. pleasure in its purest form, which is more suitable for urban “outbreak”. The F 650 CS inherited from its predecessor unchanged the power unit - a 1-cylinder engine with a four-valve cylinder head, liquid cooling and fuel injection. The chassis and transmission have undergone significant changes. The F 650 GS duplex frame is made of powerful diagonal elements and pipes and is attached to the rear swingarm with a cantilever wheel mount. Driven by a toothed belt, it does not require lubrication and lasts twice as long. The motorcycle's gas tank, like that of other F650 series machines, is hidden under the saddle, and the swelling behind the steering column is nothing more than a spacious luggage compartment with a set of attachments to choose from - a soft luggage bag, a helmet crab, a hard 10-liter trunk, or an audio system. In the list of additional The motorcycle's equipment includes a proprietary anti-lock braking system, a kit for adjusting the seat height, a trunk case, heated handlebar grips, a high windshield and a 12-volt outlet. The BMW F650CS was produced from 2001 to 2005, replacing the F 650 Strada. The F650CS was subsequently replaced by the F 800 S.
BMW F650 (F650CS, F650GS, F650ST)
Model class : touring enduro.
Years of production/sales : 1993-2012
The BMW F650 motorcycle model series appeared in 1993, offering the market two models - the BMW F650 Funduro (alternative name - F650) and the BMW F650 Strada (alternative name - F650ST). These motorcycles were developed jointly with Aprilia, which, in turn, launched its own model, the Aprilia Pegaso 650. There were many differences between the BMW and Aprilia models, but the concept was the same: it was based on a 1-cylinder engine from the Austrian company Rotax with a capacity of about 650 cc, steel frame, simple suspension and universal chassis, suitable for both asphalt and dirt roads.
Despite the lack of technologies used on BMW's flagship motorcycles, the BMW F650 model, due to its low cost, gained enormous popularity in Europe - from 1993 to 2000. Almost 51,000 motorcycles were sold, and versions 2000-2007. – more than 105,000 pcs.
Main modifications of the BMW F650:
- BMW F650 (Funduro) is an enduro version of the motorcycle. Produced from 1993 to 2000. It has a 19' front wheel, off-road tires, an extended wheelbase (1480 mm), increased seat height (820 mm), a temperature indicator on the dashboard and a special shape of the front part with a windshield.
- BMW F650ST (Strada) – road version of the motorcycle. Produced from 1996 to 2000. It has an 18' front wheel, road tires, a shortened wheelbase (1465 mm), a lower seat height, suspension with less travel (120 mm versus 170 mm in the Funduro version), a clock instead of temperature indicators on the dashboard, special design of the front of the motorcycle and windshield.
- BMW F650GS – produced from 2000 to 2007. and replaced the previous BMW F650. It has a new injection engine, a new design, versions with heated steering grips and ABS.
- BMW F650GS (800cc) - produced from 2008 to 2012. It is distinguished by a 2-cylinder engine, alloy wheels and appearance. It has common features with the F800GS, but has lower engine performance and has cheaper equipment (1 brake disc, regular fork, etc.)
- BMW F650CS (Scarver) - produced from 2000 to 2007. and replaced the Strada modification (F650ST). It differs in appearance, 17' road wheels, dashboard, cantilever rear swingarm, trunk in place of the gas tank and belt drive.
- BMW F650GS Dakar – the version is similar to the BMW F650GS, but in the original coloring and Dakar inscription, a 21' front wheel (in the standard version - 19'), suspensions with increased travel and, accordingly, a higher saddle height.
The BMW F650GS model was produced until 2007, after which it was replaced by the new BMW F650GS model, which, despite the same name, was a completely different motorcycle with an inline 2-cylinder engine with a capacity of about 800 cc. cm.
In 2009, the BMW concern decided to “resurrect” the once popular 1-cylinder motorcycle BMW F650GS, offering the market a new model - the BMW G650GS. It's essentially the same F650GS, but with more modern looks and an engine assembled in China using Rotax parts. Despite the technical similarity of the F650GS (2000-2007) and the G650GS, we consider the latter as a separate model on the corresponding page of the Encyclopedia.
